It was a wonderful evening Friday night, March 25 for former members of Sing-Out South to renew old friendships at our 45th Reunion held at the Millennium Maxwell House Hotel.
We began with a dessert reception where (see above) Paula Thompson Winter (center) got a chance to reconnect with old friend, Edna Vilars Grable and introduce Edna to her husband, Chris.
See all the smiling faces in the photos below as linking up with former friends was the order of the evening and the sweetest thing about this dessert reception.....
Margaret Stokes Johnson and Tommy Sloan
Allison Smith Ricks, Edna Vilars Grable and Ann Graham Bozman
Dave Cannon and Ted Overman
Ann Garrett Clay reads a letter of welcome and congratulations to Sing-Out South for its 45th Reunion from Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam. We also received similar proclamations from Nashville Mayor Karl Dean and Nashville State Senator Thelma Harper.
Hazel Robinson, a member of both Sing-Out South and the international cast of Up With People, played a major role in getting those proclamations and letters of support from our political leaders. She also spearheaded putting together those wonderful goodie bags we are giving out to everyone who is attending the Reunion. It's a lot great stuff!
Linda Blackmore Cates, one of the original stars of Sing-Out '66 and Up With People (and married to SOS Musical Director Bill Cates), closes our memorial service remembering those SOS and UWP cast members who have passed away.
Thanks to Alan Mayor for all the photos....more to come!
